The results were summed up as follows: (1) there were significant effects of gender and attachment type on relational helping behavior but no effect of short-term priming (2) female participants‘ scores were higher on all kind of relational helping items than male participants, (3) anxious attachment group's scores were higher on relational helping behavior than secure attachment group's. (4) female participants of independent priming condition showed higher relational helping score, (5) participants' scores were higher on relational helping behavior than individual helping behavior.
